Jonas Kao
Analyst London, United Kingdom October 2025

The Food and Beverage Wholesaling revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 1.4% over the five years through 2025 to reach a valuation of €1,964.7 billion, including an estimated rise of 0.5% in 2025, while the average industry profit margin is expected to reach 4.8%.

Countries such as France, Italy, and Spain have experienced significant increases in food prices, particularly for chicken and eggs. Larger wholesalers continue to outpace smaller wholesalers by negotiating better deals with suppliers and operating more efficiently. While the sector is still fragmented, big players are steadily expanding their reach, making it harder for smaller companies to survive on tight profit.
